What are eSports and what do you need to become a professional?

Esports today has become a type of activity that is managing to equal traditional sporting events, with many athletes and teams, as well as national teams, that are slowly making this type of competitive activity more and more known.

Secondo Renato from bookmakersaams.eu, esports will have more visibility than traditional sports in the coming years, at least as far as video streaming is concerned.

Obviously, any player who joins a team or who has achieved several excellent results and enjoys a certain fame can be defined as a pro player.

Here is the ideal path to become one.

The first step to become a pro player, training, concentration and social life

After choosing the game you like, which obviously must fall into the eSports category, you need to start training but be careful: you don't have to spend endless hours in front of the video game.

As with athletes in traditional sports, training must be consistent but one must not overdo it and always push oneself beyond the limits of physical and mental endurance.

Strength is also acquired through experience and maximum concentration, so it's important to try to find the right balance between training and social life, so that your ability to relate to others is always present.

The next step is to find your game

Another important step in becoming an esports professional is choosing the right game.

It's not that simple actually, but there are some signs that can help us.

First, you need to understand what the most popular game genres in the esports world are.

For example, League of Legends is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), a competitive strategy-style video game that is based on the development of the group's strategic and tactical skills.

Overwatch is a competitive FPS (first person shooter) of the “competitive” type, like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

Fortnite Battle Royale is a competitive survival game with sandbox elements that allows users to create unique locations where they can play and battle against each other.

Tournaments and character

Obviously a pro player becomes one when he starts participating in various tournaments and at the same time manages to obtain several victories in that particular game.

In this case, participation in various events represents the next step to be recognized as a professional player, so it is important to try to make the most of your training results and be able to compete at the highest levels.

Online victories against established players are always nice, but the true pro player is the one who also has a strong enough character and who doesn't let a defeat get him down.

There will always be another player stronger than that pro player, so defeat serves to strengthen the spirit and ensure that that player can actually achieve several optimal results, learning from any defeats and at the same time managing to improve consistently.

So no swearing or overly dramatic attitudes, but a calm manner and a lot of commitment will allow a player to reach his final goal, which is to be recognized as a true pro player and achieve a series of consecutive successes.
